Chapter 7 The Lights Are Rising
Xue Ling really didn't know how to please, and in the face of the man in front of her who had just helped her during the day, she didn't know what to do, so she could only bypass the topic, and in turn joked Xiao Zhifan, "So, at this night, when the Spring Festival is valuable, why did Young Master Xiao not accompany his fiancΓ©e, but ran to a nobody's room?"
Xiao Zhifan originally seemed to be in a good mood, he was already handsome, and he sat there idlely, lining the night lights outside the window behind him, beautiful like a Western-style oil painting, but now when he heard Xue Lingti mention this topic, his face sank in an instant, and he was more powerful when he put the wine glass on the table, "You really can't open which pot, how can this kind of emotional intelligence be famous in the shopping mall?"
"Do I have low EQ?" Xue Ling looked at Xiao Zhifan's good-looking face gloomily, "I have known since two years ago, I don't need Xiao Shao to remind me, after all, Xiao Shao's time is so precious, it is not worth wasting for rotten wood like me." β
Xiao Zhifan saw that her whole body was trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but soften her tone, "I didn't say anything about you, why do you look like this?"
"I'm not saying what you said about me, I think why am I so useless, I don't even dare to break into my room with a man, can I blame myself for not being able to?" Xue Ling's eyes were red when he said this, and he looked a little weak.
Although Xiao Zhifan didn't look like it in his heart, he was stubborn on his lips, "Xue Ling, don't think that I am a saint who does things without asking for anything in return, like that Xia Jia just now, who is about the same age as you, you have also seen the extent to which she successfully handed over the money to you, right? Without me, do you think you have one-tenth of her efforts?"
Xue Ling stopped shaking and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhifan, "What do you mean by this......?"
"If you're not completely stupid, you should have thought of it, handing over the advance funds to you is obviously one of her tasks, otherwise you think that when you meet for the first time, how can a working woman like her have the leisure to be so enthusiastic about you. Xiao Zhifan sat up straight, his whole person looked a little irritable, he wanted to help Xue Ling.
But looking at the current situation, Xue Ling was wary of him and hated him, and he was in a bad mood because of Xue Ling's attitude.
I was supposed to sneak in with champagne to surprise her, but now it looks more like an unexpected scare.
Xue Ling listened to what he said, and thought about it, sure enough, Xia Jia seemed to be a purpose for herself from beginning to end, no wonder the whole person was so cold after finishing the account, and instantly there was an illusion that the soles of her feet were cold to the top of her head, like this kind of posture of completing the work no matter what, she didn't have it at all.
Jingyun's business room is not big, full of warmth, the dim carved table lamp now reveals a strange ambiguous atmosphere, she has to say something, but Xiao Zhifan took a long step, got up and walked to the door before turning around, "That bottle of black diamond champagne is sent to you, I was kind enough to celebrate for you, but now it seems that it is not necessary." β
Xue Ling stood behind and looked at the well-packaged champagne in a daze, even such an expensive wine didn't make her feel a trace of happiness, "Wait a minute." β
"What?" Xiao Zhifan walked quickly, waiting for Xue Ling's instructions with a pitiful look.
Xue Ling rubbed his eyes, looking like he had a headache, "Anyway, I want to thank you today." β
"You have a conscience. Xiao Shao felt a little comforted in his heart.
"But one yard to one yard, I will never forget the harm you did to me, and the unconditional trust I once had in you was completely gone two years ago when you disappeared for no reason and abandoned me, Xiao Zhifan, this is what you owe me. She said it rightly, completely forgetting what Xiao Zhifan had just said to her, in fact, she didn't do her best enough.
In the jungle of reinforced concrete, the laws of survival will not change because of whom.
Xiao Zhifan was still miserable and puppy-like, but now he wiped his face down, sinking like a black cloud on it, "What you say is crooked, I won't argue with you, but only one point, I helped you settle today's matter, and one day you don't need me, say this to me again." He walked away like a gale, this time without hesitation.
Xue Ling was instantly said by Xiao Zhifan and had nothing to say, even if she had been hurt before, but now this basket was set up by Xiao Zhifan, and she also felt that it was a bit too much for her to always talk about her previous feelings.
But as soon as Xiao Zhifan left, she couldn't help but want to be Xianglin's sister-in-law, as soon as Xiao Zhifan left, her whole person was completely relaxed, she was unable to collapse on the sofa, and she didn't catch her breath yet, the mobile phone rang, she picked it up a little weakly, and slid the answer button, "Hey?"
Xue Ling is very tired and messy now, she doesn't want to use the word hello as the opening language of answering the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Sister Ling, it's me, Meiyun. β
Xue Ling came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and his body got up from the sofa, "Meiyun, what's the matter?"
"Sister Xue, I just received a sum of money, 100,000 yuan, and the account belongs to Luo Huashi, is this our money?" Meiyun said very calmly, "If so, we can pay wages to the workers tomorrow." β
"So fast?" she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered that it should have been Xia Jia who had turned over just now, "Yes, it was the money given by Luo Huashi." β
Meiyun was silent for a few seconds, "Sister Xue, don't you think it's a little strange." β
Xue Ling stood up and walked to the window where he could see the night view, wanting to ease his mood, and then talked to Meiyun over there on the phone, "What's wrong?"
"It's so strange," Meiyun still stated in a calm voice, "Could it be that Luo Huashi through a cooperation project, if you want to send money, don't you need to go through the company's account?
Xue Ling is now forced to take responsibility by Mr. Wang all day long, in the past two years, she has not saved any money at all, even if she has, she will definitely not be able to get the wages of workers and R&D costs, she has just been relieved of the pressure, and the whole person is loose and only thinks that this matter is over for the time being, and her head does not want to make more trouble at all.
"Probably not, after all, it's a big company, maybe they have their own special way of dealing with it. Xue Ling comforted Meiyun.
Although Dai Meiyun is a few years younger than Xue Ling, she is always a little calmer by nature, and now she listens to Xue Ling's meaning, because she doesn't want to mention this matter again, thinking that she has been running back and forth for a while, she is a little tired, and she turned her head around, and said sweetly, "Sister Xue, I said to book a ticket for you today, I forgot to ask when you will come back, you see that you are ......"
Xue Ling looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already a little closer, and he was a little tired, "Tomorrow afternoon." β
"Okay, but ......," Miyun paused, "but don't you have to stay there for a few more days?
"No, we have to reorganize the data when we go back and see if the data from the early phase 2 trial can be used, because now that we have a partner, it will be a very promising career. When Xue Ling said this, he suddenly came to his senses.
Meiyun didn't understand these too professional things, but vaguely felt that something was wrong when things were going well, "Sister Xue, I always feel that something feels weird." β
Xue Ling burst out laughing, "Silly girl, how can it be as complicated as you think, okay, my sister is very tired and wants to rest." β
"Well, that's good, sister, let's have a good rest. Meiyun hung up the phone obediently.
When the phone was closed, the surroundings were quiet again, but Xue Ling, who had been shouting and tired in her head, suddenly woke up, it seemed that this thing that had been difficult to solve was a little unexpected, but now, she felt that it would be more helpful to sleep well, and she would go back tomorrow to see the situation.
She was very tired and soon fell into a deep sleep.
This state did not last long, and in the early hours of the morning, she felt a flustered panic and woke up in a cold sweat from this uneasiness.
She touched her chest and felt that she was jumping suddenly, and she felt uneasy somewhere.
Xue Ling picked up the mobile phone on the table in a little panic, flipped through the information, strangely, there was none, somehow, when she calmed down a little, she found that she had called up Xiao Zhifan's contact information, and the light of the mobile phone was gradually dimming.
The music sounded, Xue Ling stretched out his finger and slid the phone, the voice over there didn't seem to be awake yet, with a bit of laziness, "Xue Ling?"
"Hmm. Xue Ling hoarsely spoke.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhifan exhaled, "It's only six o'clock so early, did you encounter something?"
Xue Ling frowned, "I don't know if I should tell you or not." β
"Huh?" Xiao Zhifan hadn't reacted yet, and what the situation was now.
"Zhifan, I suddenly dreamed that you don't want me anymore. At this moment, Xue Ling didn't want to hide it, "After so many years, I really didn't expect to have this dream suddenly." She laughed at herself, trying to hide the loss of waking up from her dream.
Xiao Zhifan was silent for a moment, but didn't answer directly, only said lightly, "It's been a long time since I've heard you call me Zhifan." β
"yes. Xue Ling smiled bitterly, not knowing if Xiao Zhifan could feel the bitterness in her heart.
Xiao Zhifan's voice followed, "Otherwise, let's meet today?" he asked a little cautiously.
Such a moment of thoughtfulness made Xue Ling feel a little delusional, as if Xiao Zhifan had always been the considerate big boy who was willing to run five streets to buy desserts for her when he was a student, and that was Xiao Zhifan who only belonged to her.
She shook her head violently, wanting to sober herself up, she secretly warned herself that now this Xiao Zhifan is no longer the Xiao Zhifan of the year, she smiled politely and tactfully, "No need, I have to go back to Linyuan City in the afternoon, yesterday I said that the money arrived, see how much is left after the wages of the workers, and then redesign the experimental plan." β
Xiao Zhifan was silent for another three seconds, as if he thought for a while, before he said, "Xue Ling, you really don't have to be like this, you work so hard, you may not be able to do anything, in fact, you can have a better way." β
Xue Ling laughed, "What way?
Xiao Zhifan stopped talking all of a sudden, he was deeply sorry for not saying goodbye back then, but he really didn't have the courage to break up with Xue Ling face-to-face, he also loved Xue Ling very much, his love was no less than Xue Ling, but there were many things in the world besides love.
Xue Ling saw that he was silent for a long time, and also closed the line.
